Yes most of us go thru depression every once in awhile it is NORMAL. Depression can stem from many things:: loss of a loved one's life, self esteem issues, everyday struggles that we all face, roller coaster ride that I call relationship. So we go thru feelings of loneliness & sadness, there is a saying "GOD NEVER GIVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN MANAGE" I've been there where I have sat a questioned GOD as to what have I done to deserve this and then turn around and make promises to never to do & so again.
There are different signs for Depression, and if one knows they have these feelings lasting for periods at a time they should definately go see a medical specialist. Even though I have been witness to someone suffering but they mask it so well, and to me that has only lead to deeper issues within.
- difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
- fatigue and decreased energy
- feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness
- feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism
- insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping
- irritability, restlessness
- loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex
- overeating or appetite loss
- persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment
- persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings
- thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts
illness and I have learned never to judge someone for taking their life or attempting to. You NEVER know what's going on in someone's life. Some people can not handle the pressures of life and feel like the only way to stop the suffering is to end it. It's sad that so many serious cases go untreated because people are afraid to seek professional help.
